Nice location, fast service and they have several cakes that I would eat anytime. Still, interior design seems cold and uninviting, and I don't understand why people praise it's icecream, I tried it a few times and it always tasted like a big lump of margarine and sugar...

Recommended by our tour guide, we went twice. Once just for ice cream (very high quality) and once to sit down and enjoy a fancy dessert and yet more ice cream. Wife had raspberry and cream cake that was wonderful. When you sit down, the ice cream is served in an old fashioned dish, glasses of water, very pleasant setting... More

Stopped in here twice for ice cream during my visit to the city and it was amazing both times. I ended up trying chocolate, cookies and cappuccino and they were all incredible. The only downside was the service. I found that there wasn't not much of an order to the queue and as soon as the staff realised that you... More

Suggest to try some of ice cream cups. Staff is complaisant and you don't need to wait long to get your order. Place is clean, and bathroom... More

This is fantastic patisserie with great selection of cakes and very tasty icecreams. If you are on Zagreb main square, walk down Ilica Street and youll find it few hundred meters on the right side. Endulge yourself with nice treat.

The excellent location of Vincek in Ilica close to the main square in Zagreb is the only thing that can explain it's success. The cakes and the ice-cream are of the industrial, mass-production sort, the appearance and taste of which simply screams: "Artificial". This poor-man's excuse for a pâtisserie could have been explained thirty years ago, when ingredients where hard... More

An amazing variety of cake and ice cream. This place is a favourite of many locals so you'll find it hard to find a seat if there are a few of you.

Spent a great day walking and the icing on the cake was literally Vincek. Yes the tables need to be bussed more but nobody cares. Its wonderful and kids and teens and nuns and tourists and local families have this place packed but the line moves fast.
